I went and saw Bill Mallonee play again this past Tuesday evening. I’ve seen Bill live more than any other artist and I’ve been a fan for almost 20 years. Bill played at a local club called Eddie’s Attic in Decatur, GA. Eddie’s is just outside of the city of Atlanta and is a great little place to see live music. Bill played with A.J. Adams accompanying him on the pedal steel guitar, and as he usually is these days he was also backed up by his wife Muriah Rose on organ and background (beautiful) vocals.
Bill never ceases to amaze me…he played to a decent sized room of about 45-50 people which I find pretty good for a Tuesday evening, and the day after a holiday as well. He kicked through 15 songs of mostly newer material and he sounded better than he ever has. With a new album titled The Power and the Glory just a couple of months from seeing release, Bill is cramming and jamming in a tour as he has for well over 20 years at this point.
There is still time to pre-order the new album and catch up with Bill and the latest news that is happening through his website www.volsounds.com Also check out his bandcamp site which you can link on here http://billmalloneemusic.bandcamp.com Bill has a staggering amount of titles to his name; each and every one is top notch with the musicianship and the lyrical content. Bill is at the top of the Americana/Folk game when it comes to quality and consistent work. Check him out and catch a show whenever you have the opportunity!
